Library
LIBRARY
This a double carriage. On the bottom floor there is a corridor running along one side, with a door to enter the carriage itself in the middle of the corridor. Up the stairs on either end of the carriage, the space is open, relatively.We will not OOCly be tracking books being checked in and out. If a book is not being returned, please reply to that book's comment to let people know that it isn't available.
Downstairs appears similar to a public library. The walls are painted brightly and lined with shelves, most of which are empty. Labels indicate that fiction books should be stored here. The wall facing the door is alternating windows looking out into the Void, and posters that seem to be large, blown-up book covers for the more popular fiction books in the train.
Four tables with linked chairs are spaced throughout the car, each one painted one of the team colours, and beanbag chairs similar to those found in the Games carriage can also be seen scattered in a pile in one corner.
A little wooden train with shelves built into it winds its way through the tables, its shelves filled with all of the previously-purchased Merry Little Void Train literature and the first book of several of the encountered but unpurchased MLVT series, including several colouring books. There's room on its shelves for far more than it currently contains. Kheli the rabbit is painted leaning out of the engine window, waving.
Along the far wall to the right are two scanning machines, which can do the following: register new books - as a helpful tutorial on the screen will inform you; provide summaries of books if given a specific title; or check books out if presented with a valid ticket. Passengers can have up to eight books checked out at a time; if someone walks out of the carriage carrying a book not checked out by them, the ICP speakers in that carriage will beep obnoxiously for ten seconds.
Upstairs resembles an academic library. The wall next to the stairs is a similar bank of windows as downstairs, although lacking the colourful posters, instead dotted with landscape paintings of previously visited worlds and unknown worlds both. Rows of shelves divide the space into six smaller workspaces, each with a single-person desk with lamp and bookstand and another window above, bracketed by shelves on either side. The bookshelves muffle sound, creating semi-private spaces around each desk.
The shelves are empty, with labels on each shelf indicating that non-fiction books belong up here.
Please comment below with any books your character is registering with the library computers, using the following form, to either the fiction or non-fiction top level and under the correct genre or subsection with the book's title as the subject header:

To the Future! Issue One (Magazine)
Description: A magazine written by a junior void minister, working in the void offices of System #1. It has information on a couple of newly discovered worlds (one is occupied by a whole range of people, the other seems barren) and news of the Void Annual Ball happening in the void embassy. Much of the magazine is focused on that- who will be there, etc.
Issue 2
Description: A magazine written by a junior void minister, working in the void offices of System #1. This one compares three waterfalls in three different worlds (one flows upwards, one is green and one is hot). It shows the results of a vote on the best one (the heated waterfall wins)
Issue Three
Description: A magazine written by a junior void minister, working in the void offices of System #1
This issue advertises the 5 'spookiest' places in the void network.
-A cave said to be haunted by undead pirates.
-A catacomb system underlying a whole landmass where people were said to never return.
-The wailing woods in a world otherwise devoid of plants.
-The blood pools of Ahkutchi
-The pit in world #472999100299938- said to lead to an infinite abyss.
Issue Four
Description: A magazine written by a junior void minister, working in the void offices of System #1
This issue talks about a initiative in some of the newer void-active worlds to send representatives to the more established void-active worlds and learn from their scientists.
It advertises a fundraiser taking part in System #1 to raise funds for this partnership.
Issue Five (CW: Bugs)
Description: A magazine written by a junior void minister, working in the void offices of System #1
In this issue they are trying the weirdest foods from across the multiverse. Most of them sound terrifying: blue and green bugs in stew, fruit picked from a tree only accessible by crossing a vine bridge of ten miles over a gaping chasm, the meat of the deadly gogor fish.
Each has a score out of ten and a write up about how it tastes.
Issue Six
Description: A magazine written by a junior void minister, working in the void offices of System #1
This issue is all about sustainable tourism, about how to make sure that void travel doesn't harm the places void travellers visit.
Some is about not letting non-void active worlds know about the void. More is just general good practice (respecting the cultures, not damaging the land, not causing harm to peoples or creatures of the worlds, not robbing worlds of natural resources etc)
Issue Seven
Description: All about ski slopes. The highest, the fastest and the coldest in the multiverse.
It talks a lot about safety, equipment and the importance of guides and training. It follows three ski masters who travel the void looking for the next thrill.
